Supervisors Back Park Access Plan for Tuma Park Soccer Start
County supervisors backed a plan to manage traffic for the new Tuma Park soccer season starting Sept. 12. They trimmed County Home Road speed to 35 mph during events, proposed two new entrances off Gilmore Road and C Avenue Extension, and funded traffic control and signs. Neighbors warned that adding the C Avenue entrance could worsen crossings, but the panel favored safer access while keeping parking and road work on track.
